abstract = {A new real-time implementation of the Boltzmann-plot technique
for optical spectroscopic analysis of thermal plasmas is presented.
Applications are found in the monitoring of industrial processes in which
plasma emission naturally occurs, such as arc and laser welding. Experimental
results show the feasibility of using the Boltzmann-plot technique
for real-time calculation of the electronic temperature of the plasma, a
parameter that has been correlated with common defects found in the
weld seam. The foundations of the proposed technique, its implementation,
and its capability for the on-line detection of defects in tungsten inert
gas  TIG  welding of steel parts are discussed.},
